Don't be sad that it's over
D#
Just be happy that it happened to us
C#
Don't look back and remember

Drunken tears, oh, remember the love

In my head, I see you laughing
From the words I said, felt like a new beginning
In my head, I see you standing there
The words you said, felt like a story ending

We will never, ever be the same

The picture changes, but not the frame

turn back the hands of time

Nostalgic

I wonder if you're wearing
That gold chain with a promise from me
Honestly felt so real then
Even now it's not hard to believe

In my head, I see you laughing
From the words I said, felt like a new beginning
In my head, I see you standing there
The words you said, felt like a story ending

We will never, ever be the same
The picture changes, but not the frame
When I'm sleeping, I still kiss your face
I can't have it when I'm awake

Even though we lost it, I still get nostalgic
Even if we wanted, we can't turn back
the hands of time
Even though we lost it, I still get nostalgic
Even if we wanted, we can't turn back
the hands of time
Even though we lost it,
I still get nostalgic, nostalgic
